I feel the need...the need for speed!
I was heartened by a lot of what I saw last night. Promising signs from Steven, Eljay, Geary, Heyne and Farren Ray. Super effort from Goddard, Ball as courageous as ever, Chips doing his usual sterling job, no matter where that was. The thing that has me concerned though is that we don't seem to hav...

Go for it Ralphysaints35. All of those people who tell us they'll look shocking in later life are missing the point (and are just envious of your youth). Inking is about the moment, the phase of your life when it's most meaningful. If you like the look of it and it MEANS something to you, then go fo...

The future is coming...saints are prepared!
With all of the rule changes the AFL has introduced over the past few years, including those to be trialled in this year's NAB Cup, it seems that Andy and Co. are determined to further open and speed up the game. The rushed behind rule, where a free will be awarded in the same way one is given for a...

McDermott is just bitter because Blighty showed him the door the year Adelaide went on to win the flag. Then in another devastating blow his career as a male model also failed. The guy is a shocking tipster, failed coach and possibly the worst commentator since our own defensive coach, Steven Silvag...

The Trojan entered, did some damage, felt guilty, liked what he saw and decided to stay. He is now a solid citizen. Always happy to admit when I'm wrong. I must admit though, at the time SR it wasn't looking all that promising. I stand corrected. The Trojans are furious. One of their own has betraye...

The point I'm trying to make is that at least we have a plan in place. In addition to this, we also have the sort of development system that will allow us to develop our players and give them the best chance of success. As I said in the post, the odds are that a number of them will fail. The differe...

Merry Xmas - List Management comes to the Saints!
The rookie draft rounded off our mini re-build of the list. In an earlier post, (We've done really well) I said that the drafting this year and last, had a real sense of strategic list management for the first time. Instead of filling holes and hoping we could pinch a flag with a great core group, R...

We've done really well
FWIW I think the recruiting staff (it's a relief to use that in the plural sense) have done an outstanding job in the past two years, especially given our positions in the pecking orders. When John Peake came to the job just over a year ago, he was confronted with a list that contained a number of a...

Maybe it had something to do with Ben attending the recent funeral of criminal identity John Giannerelli. Maybe it had something to do with him acting a a pall-bearer along with John Kizon, the man it is alleged was Cousin's drug dealer in Perth. A shocking error in judgement that would have cost hi...

Attitudes like that promote s*** journalism and let lazy wankers write whatever they like, plugger66. Your attitude just assists them. It might be good enough for you. So be it. Don't expect the rest of us to accept your level of understanding. BTW how would you like it if I wrote an article about y...

I disagree plugger66. What's not alright is to attribute comments/information to RL and not quote the source, or how he came by the material he relies on to make his argument. In journalism that is considered lazy and unethical. By the good ones anyway. Patrick Smith writes lots of good articles. Th...

Well ralphysaints35, it gives me no pleasure to say I told you so. My source was very close to the decision. The reason I put the post up in the first place was that I felt sorry for Brad Howard being the victim of incompetence. Before you mindlessly slag off at others, perhaps you should check your...

He most certainly did Solar. If it's true then they obviously thought they could manage the small hole he would leave in the salary cap. I can't imagine he would've been on anything other than the base rate. Still, he and Fiora combined will leave about a $250K to $300K hole in player payments. I ho...

Brad Howard gone?
I'm afraid I may have put a jinx on Brad Howard by standing up for him in another post on this forum. I banged on about him deserving more time to develop, to be given a go etc. I've just heard from a reliable source that he has been delisted. The announcement will apparently be made tomorrow (Frida...

Brad Howard...
I'd like to clear up something about Brad Howard. He wasn't a "smokey", as many people keep asserting on this forum. He had attracted the interest of a number of clubs and JB had the mail that he would be picked up late 2nd/early 3rd round. He came highly recommended and had been playing s...
